Social Mapper doesn't handle unicode characters, support needs adding
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58974120/unicodeencodeerror-with-arabic-data?noredirect=1#comment104201862_58974120
For simplicity Social Mapper uses django.utils encoding:
encoding.smart_str(bestprofilelink, encoding='ascii', errors='ignore')
Which ignores non ascii characters.
If someone wants to rewrite this part of Social Mapper to handle unicode characters properly, it would be greatly appreciated and I will definitely give you credit!
